Found the ultimate barn today. Let me clarify that statement... ULTIMATE. I'll save it for Monday. Until then here is what was parked out front.

Rumi Tattoo

Rumi Tattoo, Formerly Kadillac Tattoo MYK, 4371 Cresson Street, Philadelphia. Down in old Manayunk. How could you walk past this and not snap a couple shots?

Carry Out Crabs

A quick carry out lunch in Chincoteague, Virginia. I like how he appears to hit the brakes in picture number two. In the end he was catching crabs quicker and easier than we were.

Shippensburg's Heroes

Just a couple pictures this afternoon from the Shippensburg Memorial Day parade. Short but sweet.

Engine 35, Ladder 25, Philadelphia FD

Philadelphia Fire Department Engine 35, Ladder 25. 4230 Ridge Avenue, serving the East Falls neighborhood. This station was built in 1958. The engine picture was taken at the Allegheny Street, Henry Avenue intersection.

Big Stormin'

This bad boy waited til after midnight to do it's thing. Had I been at home I'd have been out watching it. This one is rolling through Harmonville, near Plymouth Meeting, Pa. northwest  of Philly.

East Falls Fish Bridge (PG 176)

This weeks Painted Gentleman is a bridge (not my first one either) and it is the Roosevelt Expressway and Lincoln Highway over Ridge Avenue at Ferry Road in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia. The whole town is fish themed. There is fish sculptures, light up wire fish on the side of buildings. And a fish bicycle rack. The Schuylkill River flows behind where I am standing.

Cresson Street

A typical street in the old neighborhood of Manayunk. Cresson Street here runs underneath the railroad. To add local color to this drive the street in cobblestone.

Not So Early Bird

Been so busy, this is the first Robin I've taken a picture of this spring.

Wissahickon Community Ambulance

Wissahickon Community Ambulance, 504 Hermit Street, Philadelphia. Located inn the Roxborough neighborhood. I can't find anything out about this organization or why the ambulances say Wynnebrook.  I do know that I've spent two weeks in Philly and saw no less than twenty five different ambulance companies. I should figure out why sometime.

Stormy Weather

It was sunny where I was. It wasn't sunny at home.

30th Street Hair Station (PG 175)

Return of the long lost Painted Gentleman. This one is on the corner of 30th Street and Allegheny Avenue in Philadelphia.

Poppies

Poppies! Poppies! Poppies! What movie is that from? Wasn't that one of the Monty Python movies?

Perty Asparags

Startin Munday off wit a speling lessan. It's hard to beleave that scool is almost dun.

Engine 152 on Earl

Engine 152 on a minor incident on South Earl Street in Shippensburg. Supply line to the hydrant waiting to be charged if needed.

Sunrise from the Boat Launch

Sunrise form the boat launch located over near Memorial Park in Chincoteague Island, Virginia.

Switchback

Somewhere on Route 82 between Balltown and Independence Pass in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

Dink's

Dink's Taxi Restaurant on Cottage Street in Bar Harbor, Maine. For as interesting as this place looks they have no website to call their own. Google it and you'll see that everyone takes a picture of Dink's.

Egret in Flight

Panning practice on an egret in Chincoteague, Va. Kind of artsy, isn't it?

A Busy Man's Garden

This is what a busy man's garden looks like. Grape Hyacinths, a Tulip, Dandelions and wild Garlic. Just one more thing to put on my list of things to do when I get a free minute.

Diamond Lil

Here's some pictures from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. This B-52D was sitting along the entrance road into the Academy. In my time in the Air Force I don't think I ever had an opportunity to see a B-52 take off or land. I've seen them flying over before and they would do some target practice at the range, but never when I was there. I think there was one on static display at Chanute, too.  Take a minute and read the plaque. This is one of two B-52D's to have a confirmed MIG kill in Vietnam.

The Hoagie King

If you thought the best sub shop was in your town, you are obviously wrong. It's kind of like thinking your local Chinese take out place was the best and then you drive through another town and see the "Number 1 Chinese Restaurant" and you get that Homer Simpson, "Doh!" Well, your in luck since I think  Tommy's store in Coaldale, Pennsylvania is closed now. You'll just have to imagine what the best tasted like.
